OUR CHILDREN
Rita’s thoughts
As I was preparing for 4 of our grandchildren to spend the weekend with us I began to think about what their future will be like. I thought about all my children’s friends that were pregnant and excited about their families growing. I began to wonder, “Why would anyone want to bring children into this world with what the future will be like?” Then I thought how selfish it would be to not have children so they could experience everlasting life in Heaven. As I dug a little deeper I began thinking about raising our children. How do we raise our children and grandchildren in this day and time? We raise them as warriors in the Lord. They have to be able to fight (in the Spirit) to be able to make it in the times to come. They have to be ready to raise their children as warriors.
It would be selfish to desire children and then let them loose on the perverse society we have now, and we don’t even know how it will be in 10 years. Make them ready with the whole armor of God set in place. Take the time to teach them how to pray and battle in the Spirit. Teach them to take authority over sickness with each other. If it is done in the home they will naturally want to pray for others. Read the Word with them daily especially the parts where Jesus spoke to the demons and commanded them to submit. Practice what you preach in the home. Help them to understand who they are in Christ Jesus. They were born for a purpose and they need to find what that purpose is, with your help. It is selfish not to take the time to train our children in Spiritual warfare. You can’t be that busy.
Our children and grandchildren are a gift from God. Let’s be sure we take care of them the way He wants us to. If we ask, He will help us do it.
Question: Are you ministering to your children the way God wants you to?
